Flop shows

Madhavan
The cute actor is stealing hearts in Airtel ads these days, but he just didn't work on the show Deal Ya No Deal. Madie should have taken some tips from Big B on reaching out to the audience and being witty.

Madhuri Dixit
Who would imagine that a diva like Maddy would be a no-show on TV? But much of the discredit goes to the makers of Kahin Na Kahin Koi Hai because they made the show very boring. Madhuri's oomph couldn't liven up their staid script.

Govinda
Great comic timing does not mean a great anchor on TV. Govinda realised this the hard way when his show Chappad Phad Ke flopped miserably.

Manisha Koirala and Anupam Kher
Sawaal Dus Crore Ka was forced to drop Manisha. Why? The eye candy had no talent for glib talk. And also, the ads coming in were paltry compared to her fat paycheque. Anupam tried hard to rake in the TRP alone but couldn't sustain the show.

Masala! hit list

Rakhi Sawant
The next to host a show will be Rakhi Sawant. She has everything that will work - drama, skin show and shock factor!

Hrithik Roshan
He is a patron on NDTV Imagine's Junoon-Kucch Kar Dikhane Ka show. His job is simply to enthuse participants but he won't be a regular on the show. So we cross him off the TV race for now!

Sushmita Sen
Yes, you read absolutely right. After lying low for quite some time, the actress is also putting her finger into the moolah pie. She is all set to judge a television dance show with Wasim Akram, where cricketers and actors will dance together. Now, what is Aishwarya waiting for?
